Janet Lynn’s Bistro - Kitchener, Ontario

Our first time here with friends who dine here often. Every dish looked amazing, all our meals and desserts were the very best. The carrot cake was out of this world good.

Amazing restaurant especially for a date night or a little upscale dining. Service was amazing, the server was very knowledgeable of what the dishes were. Food was perfect, would definitely recommend the rack of lamb (we shared it between 2 and got 2 apps as well the octopus and ... scallops were great, left pleasantly full) Read more

Our visit to Janet Lynn's was, in a word, superb! By adding a few additional words I will say that our expectations were exceeded; and they were pretty high to begin with. The environment was clean, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully arranged. Our Server was prompt, easy going, knowledgeable, and attentive in the ... just the right way. The food for our party of three was brought at the same time by additional Staff so we could begin eating at the same time; a thoughtful touch not often seen. I started with a "Winter Salad." It was delightful! Featuring organic greens, grilled pear, fresh clementine, black garlic dressing, toasted walnuts, and shaved pecorino cheese, it pretty much covered all the bases. Lovely. Next, I tried the JLB Burger. I often have a burger when I visit a new place because I'm a burger guy and because you can tell much from how a burger is prepared and presented (there's really no where for a patty to hide). It was delicious!! The patty was cooked to perfection (no pink for me please); moist and so tasty. This excellent sandwich was adorned with; house smoked bacon, caramelized onions, white cheddar, roasted garlic aioli, lettuce tomato, pickles, hand-cut frites, served on a freshly baked sesame seed brioche bun. 'Nuff said. I gave in to dessert when I heard our Server say, "Vanilla Cheesecake", and, "Creme Anglaise." Spectacular! No, I did not tally up the calories. However, this was a meal that I'll talk about for a while. I will also endeavour to return - sooner than later. Read more

We came to Janet Lynn’s for my wife’s birthday and had a great meal as always. We were a bit disappointed that they ran out of duck as it is our favorite, so we ordered the pasta of the day and the chicken breast. Both were very delicious. I had ... the rack of lamb which was cooked perfectly with a mustard grain coating. Very delicious. We shared a bottle of Prosecco which was perfect with our meal. Thanks to Chris our server who was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Great job! Read more

Everything on the menu sounded delicious, our food was cooked to perfection and the presentation was very well done. We had the soup of the day (butternut squash) and the smoked salmon but didn't get a photo before devouring. The salad of the day was heirloom tomatoes, we also had the duck ... and fish. All delicious with the carrot cake as desert. Great portion sizes to be able to have a few items without being way too full for more. Service was well done also. Thank you for a great evening! We'll be back! Read more
